2- "Crazy at best"

This episode looks at how Bristol Crisis Service for Women helped to change society's view of self-injury and how medical professionals treat it. From its roots as a local feminist collective, through its groundbreaking research into self injury among different marginalised communities, to its current position as the only national self-injury helpline, Bristol Crisis Service for Women fought for the inclusion of user voice.
